Due to the inherent vulnerability of the wu.ftpd, I want to switch to a different ftp daemon after upgrading one of my Webservers. It's Webmasters need ftp access (*sigh*); plain text login is no choice, so port forwarding of the control connection through a secure tunnel is needed (in this case via ssh: ssh -L <port>:<server>:21 <server>).
try scp [-r...] with ssh sftp whith ssh2 they also secure your data connections they do not use ftpd but sshd.
Once again: The box' webmasters need ftp, the box' webmasters need ftp and they need ftp. Sometimes it's not a matter of "take another tool" :( scp and sftp even encrypt - in contrast to "regular" ftp - the data connection; this is - in many cases - unnecessery, in some cases even unwanted, as it blows up connection time, system load and most of the time even data amount (try to scp and ftp a file from one system to another in a 10 MBit network - transfer rates may differ by a factor of two). The primary reason for having to use ftp here is the proprietary O/S (they call it MicroThoft Windowth or thomething) on the other side of the connection... Thx 4 your hint anyway.
